RE: Jealousy
 

You're exactly right. This is the snowball effect I wrote about earlier. As far as my previous example, those are all the details I knew about. It mattered not to me because I knew it was a lie. It wasn't worth my time to dig for more details.

How about the guy at my work that kept on me for three years, telling me that one of the deer I shot, should have been his sons deer? I had a pic of the deer in the inside lid of my toolbox at work. He'd come in the shop when I was working, stare at the pic, then tell me that that deer should have been his sons? After 3 years!!! I said, dude, that deer is on my wall, all the wouldas, couldas and shoulsas ain't going to change that fact. He walked out telling me that he was going to tell an adjacent landowner that I was illegally hunting his land at night. That guy was very lucky that we were work![:@]

I call that jealousy.

Greg I think you give great advice so don't think I am trying to pick a fight. But your picture of your deer at work in your toolbox is kind of what I meant about being boastful. I know you are proud, but some people probably don't care to much for you displaying a picture at work. It is almost like your bragging. It would kind of be like if you drove a really nice car, carrying a picture of it in your wallet to show people.

Dude what world are you living in? The pic was on the inside cover of my tool box, he had to hunt me down, in my shop to find it. As for displaying pics at work, it's a common occurance. Of course most of the pics the other guys displayed, wouldn't be allowed on this site. Ya know what I mean? The pic inside my tool box cover is about as discreet as I feel I have to be. Do you think that the pic of my GF and son next to the deer pic, is boastful as well?:eek:

RE: Jealousy
 

I guess I am not living in the same world you are, because I would never compare my wife and son to a deer.:eek:You act like that deer is an actual person, being that you have his picture right up along side your loved ones. Sorry, I didn't realize your deer meant so much to you. I will never step on your toes again.

Greg,

It would have been much easier to type:

You really didn't need the: "Dude what world are you living in"?

RE: Jealousy
 

My only point was that the 2 guys discussing it could have been totally innocent bystanders..........(or not)...........but many people would label them "jealous"...........when in fact the truth could be totally different.


Perhaps it meant more to you then you realize since you still carry that memory with you.



Is he jealous of you..............or does he just not like you?? Hard to tell from that story.

RE: Jealousy
 

Jealousy is a fact of life.It is unfortunate that other people havn't come to the realization that they can accomplish any thing they wish to if they are willing to pay the price in terms of effort and sacrifice.
In addition to this I know one known poacher who will tell any one who is willing to listen how great a hunter he is.This fellow has cheated some beautiful animals out of their existence and some hard working hunters out of potential opportunities.Poaching is a fact of life just like jealousy is.There are some who consistently kill big deer who are not doing it on the up and up.To think otherwise is naive!

RE: Jealousy
 

Jealousy only leads to people obtaining or trying to obtain something that is not theirs to begin with. That said, who in their right mind would want to be penned as being jealous over a freakin deer?[:'(]

RE: Jealousy
 

I'm not comparing pics of my son and GF to a deer, you are. I take lots of pics of the things that I enjoy. They include cars, boats deer and people. I do not compare them or act like they are people. They are all good memories that I've had and I kept a few on the inside lid of my toolbox. You are right, you don't live in my world. I know many people that have hunting pics displayed on the walls of their office and homes and I've never once judged them to be comparing those pics to their loved ones. To say that I act like a deer is an actual person because I have the pics located next to each other is plain crazy. Maybe I should build a shrine just for pics of my loved ones and keep other pics in another location? How you arrived at this conclusion is very strange. I'm glad I don't live in your world.

Dude, thanks for lesson in ettiquette. I didn't realize that you were the police for that. How about my spelling? I should probably work on that too.
